Retro Styling Tips

Everyone knows that fashion is cyclical. What was old is new again and classic looks are timeless. Remember neon and leg warmers? Yep, they’re back—along with lace and old-timey prints. Whether you’re a fan of time travel or not, you can add some vintage elements and jump on the retro trend this season. 

We like these easy-to-replicate vintage looks by decade:

1.Sprinkle in some 20’s flapper fashion with a pair of strappy heels, cloche or fur stole or collar. 
 2.Pepper in a dash of dynamic 30’s-style art deco elements with a retro handbag, earrings and other glamorous accessories. 
 3.Pair ruby red lips with a figure-flattering mermaid skirt or a high, body-hugging waistline in your optimistic and vogue post-war 40’s silhouette. 
 4.Capture the cheer and charm of the 50’s with a sweetheart neckline, pearl necklace and some tortoise-shell print sunglasses or clutch.

Snap a pic of yourself in your favorite retro look and share it with us by following these steps:

1. Follow our Pinterest page: http://pinterest.com/officialmiche/
2. Pin your retro look to your Pinterest page and label it: #micheretro2013
3. Make a comment on our contest pin also called #micheretro2013 include a link to your pinboard in your comment.
4. From those entries, a random pinner will be chosen, and will win a retro style from our Spring 2013 catalogue. 

Details, details, details...

It has been said that the devil is in the details, meaning that there is sometimes a catch or a mystery in the details. It’s no mystery, though, that in fashion the best looks are because of the details. And there’s nothing sinister about that.

You won’t have to go out and purchase a whole new wardrobe to incorporate this design trend. Simply by adding a statement piece or an unexpected variable to your ensemble, you’ll turn heads and feel well put together. 

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Add one or two colorful skinny belts over a tailored dress or blazer
• Slip on shoes with intricate weaving, buckles or zippers
• Turn up the heat with a floral print skirt or pants
• Carry a vivid contrasting handbag
• Put on a sparkly headband
• Mix textures—woolen pants with a shimmery silk blouse

Go Bold or Go Home - Spring Trend Preview

If winter has you down and feeling blah, embrace the bold colors of spring. You don’t have to wait for the bright green buds to burst through the snow to start wearing vibrant color. Throw on a fire-engine red scarf to keep out the chill and cheer you up—it will match perfectly with this brand new handbag look from Miche. 

Still feeling a bit shy about using bold hues? Here are a few more tips for how to add some pop to your style:

• Add a pair of brightly-colored shoes to any outfit
• Double up on your color—try blood-orange and cobalt, sunny yellow and lavender, cherry red and plum
• Accessorize with your favorite jaunty shade—hats, bangles, earrings or a bright belt

However you incorporate bold color into your look, wear it with confidence and a smile. You’ll boost your own mood and turn heads in the process.

A closer look at Hope (Dove) ♥ ~ January 2013

Close up of the Hope (Dove) print :)

Color Spotlight: Red (PS: My favorite color!)

The color red speaks volumes—it’s bold, timeless and oh-so-empowering. When wearing this color, even if it’s the smallest of accents in your outfit, you’re bound to stand out from the crowd. Red creates a sense of excitement and demands attention. It can be worn with many different colors but it is its ability to be a stand-alone that makes it rich and inviting. The really great news is it can be worn through all seasons.

For those of you who were born bold and courageous (or just want to feel that way), make a statement this season with red!

Still Praying ♥

I apologize for not having an up-to-date post about Miche items that have retired and sold out. It's been a hard couple of weeks with the tragic violence of our local shopping mall, then the unimaginable shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. My heart and soul weeps for them all. 

One thought that keeps coming to mind is a few months ago, we lost a sweet young woman in our local community and even though she didn't have any children (yet) of her own - her family and friends nicked named her Momma, as she was always caring for the youngsters around her. 

Knowing Whitney was there, waiting to comfort and welcome those beautiful innocent children at Heaven's Pearly Gates, gives me some peace ♥  

I continue to pray for their family, friends, schoolmates, teachers... everyone!

Peace on earth and good will toward men ♥

Behind the name: Ariana & Alyssa

Ariana was named after the daughter of one of our Representatives who, at a trying time for their family, showed tremendous inner strength by staying at her sister Alyssa’s bedside. We named this Shell in honor of her and all women who stand by those whom they love in times of trial.

Ariana and Alyssa’s mom, Patricia, shares their family story:

My name is Patricia, and my inspiration for writing this are my daughters Alyssa and Ariana. Alyssa was diagnosed with ALL [Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia] on November 5^th, 2007—the day our lives changed forever. Alyssa was scheduled to get three years of vigorous chemotherapy. As you could imagine, we were all scared for her. She was only 6 years old when the doctors tried to explain this to all of us. The hardest part was watching her lose her hair on her birthday—November 25^th, 2007.This was the first time I’d seen my child not wanting to have a party or have friends and family over. She wasn’t interested in opening her gifts or having cake. But somehow she got past all that, and accepted her fate.

Alyssa would have talks with me, and tell me she wanted to have wings as pretty as butterflies, and be able to fly all the way to heaven. As you can imagine it was beautiful in a sense, and heart wrenching at the same time. I wondered if God had talked with her, and told her that she wasn’t going to make it through the treatments. Did she know something we didn’t know? 

As most of these children do, she endured many infections as well as pneumonia, and suffered two strokes. She was then unable to do things for herself. She couldn’t talk, walk, eat, or drink anymore. We weren’t able to hear Alyssa’s beautiful voice ever again or those special words that she loved to say was: “I love you whole bunches” and ”Bald is beautiful.” I’m reminded every day of how precious these words are to me. Through all this, I have become a prayer warrior for a lot of children who have all types of cancer. 

My daughters have taught me to never take life for granted and to always tell those around you how much you love them. Ariana, my oldest, was 16 at the time her sister was suffering through this. Sixteen can be a hard age for anyone, but it’s much harder when a loved one is passing away. Ariana was always by Alyssa’s side. We were living on God’s grace, mercy, and the comfort of his safe and loving arms. We were shown so much love throughout our community and will always be grateful for that.

On February 26, 2009, Alyssa passed away.  She finally received her beautiful wings.
